female only ......BEFORE PICS.....BIG SIGH

[Losing_It150 6]

So...I'm scheduled for surgery Feb 10th. I started to freak out and get scared a little but I will tell you........My husband and I took our "before" pics last night and that made all of my fear disappear and reassured that I am doing the right thing. Boy was that some eye opener......

I was probably more scared of the surgery than anyone, everyone else! I voluntarily rescheduled it 2 weeks later(March 10, of last year) and wondered why the hell I was doing it the morning of but everything went so well and so quickly. I was worried about afterwards, "depriving" myself. It was all for nothing, it has been very easy in fact. Its a learning process and I thought I had to know everything beforehand which isnt true. Its like starting a new job or buying a new car then wondering if you can afford it then it eventually becomes a way of life.

Dont worry, you'll do great. Im sure you've seen it here before but I wish I would have done it alot sooner.

Good luck!

Good luck to you.. I dont even have my surgery date yet and I'm getting cold feet lol. I have pleantly of before pictures and I look at them everyday to remind myself why I'm doing this. You will be fine!

I know exactly what you mean! The day I got my date (1/31/11) I was having cold feet and I looked at the pics I was in earlier that day and all doubt was removed

I can sympathy with you totally. I just found out last week that my surgery date is 2/15/11. I was starting to wonder if I was doing the right thing when I was dealing with all the insurance stuff and all the testing, it overwhelmed me. but once I got the approval and date now I am just ready to go. Even though this Protein Shake diet is gross. lol

You know... photos are brutally honest. It's weird how we can look in a mirror and think "Yeah, I look OK." But as soon as we see a picture, we see the truth. My husband has been taking picts of me every couple of weeks so that I can document the progression, and even though I can see a difference each time... I'm still always disappointed by how big I still look.
